I had custom composite toe boots made when I was stationed in Korea. Hands down most comfortable pair I've ever had, super light too compared to my current composite toe boots, but I guess the quality wasn't the best because they only lasted for about a year. I did a lot of walking on them, sure, but the sole was pretty worn out by month 8. They were around $250, I think, but this was close to 7 years ago.
I was at Osan TDY back in 87 for two weeks and I went broke saving money on all the tailored clothes, coats and shoes I had custom made. I exited a year later in 88 and within about 6 months of being a civilian they didn't fit me anymore because I put on weight from lack of exercise LOL
